Highly recommend the optional Shrine visit - It was a long day. We met at the Ginza INZ mall at 7:30am and got back around 6:30 pm. Bus made a couple of stops for bathroom/meal breaks on the way there and back. Highly recommend the additional Shrine ticket, as it was the highlight of the day. The Shrine complex was huge and included a 200+ step climb up to the Tokugawa samurai's shrine. Our guide, Francisco, helpfully explained the history of Nikko and our driver Ota-san handled the twisting mountain roads expertly.

Gorgeous Nikko - This excursion was the highlight of our trip to Japan! The area is simply gorgeous and so different to Tokyo. The bridge is beautiful and the waterfall and lake are quite lovely. I would definitely recommend this excursion if you want to see a very different side to Japan than the big city.

Nikko day trip which includes going to the water fall and shrines and temples. 11 hours long - Great experience but we had a tough time understanding our tour guide because of the thick accent. However, the trip was amazing and there are breathtaking views and experience that was definitely worth the trip.

Rushed - Review is not a reflection of Nikko itself, it really is a wonderful place. However, the times spent at each attraction were all materially less than stated in the itinerary (~40% less time for two of them). This made the tour feel very rushed at times for what is supposed to be a peaceful experience. The tour was given in both Spanish and English but the balance was not equal. Some parts of the tour were not translated to English at all which made it difficult to understand and took away from the experience. Melody was a pleasant and helpful guide but the experience would benefit from being conducted in a single language.
